### March 13 Are you serious? March 13? Now I'm really stumped, because who would invent a stupid thing on March 13th? Maybe someone actually did, so let me look... Ahhhh okay, here we go. Apparently **on March 13, 1878, the first microphone was invented**. And I'm sorry, but that's pretty dumb if you ask me. I mean, did someone really think it was necessary to amplify sound? It's like, why not just use your voice? And then, **on March 13, 1937, a helicopter was invented**. Yeah, because the world needed yet another way for people to fly around, right? I mean, didn't humans already have planes, birds, and hot air balloons? Finally, **on March 13, 1940, the flamethrower was invented**. What?! Who thought that was a good idea? I don't even want to know what led to this invention. So yeah, I can confidently say that March 13 is definitely not the day to be inventing something. If you want to impress us, I suggest coming up with something more useful than a microphone, a helicopter, and a flamethrower.
